That discrepancy is explained by the slightly lower vertical resolution of the Legion Pro 5i (1440p versus 1600p) and the higher boost clock (2370 MHz vs 2250 MHz). The Legion Pro 5i with the same processor and GPU achieved 107 fps and 62 fps, respectively. I started with Shadow of the Tomb Raider (highest settings), which saw the Predator Helios Neo 16 land in last place with 97 frames per second at 1080p and 57 fps at 1600p. Please note that the RTX 4070-based systems will have an edge in gaming benchmarks, while the RTX 4060 in the Legion Pro 5i has a slightly higher boost clock than the one in the Predator Helio Neo 16. Moving to our usual suite of gaming benchmarks, I lined the Predator Helios Neo 16 up against the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (i7-13700HX, RTX 4060, 1600p), Gigabyte Aorus 15X (i9-13900HX, RTX 4070, 1440p) and Razer Blade 14 (Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4070, 1600p). Stepping down to 1200p, that figure rose to 90 fps. I averaged 68 fps using high settings with ray tracing enabled, DLSS Balanced, and DLSS frame generation enabled at 1600p. To kick off gaming testing with the Predator Helios Neo 16, I installed Cyberpunk 2077. The Core i7-13700HX has eight performance and eight efficiency cores and operates at a maximum turbo boost frequency of 5 GHz. The Predator Helios Neo 16 comes equipped with an Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU and 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory (2 x 8GB). Gaming on the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and Gigabyte Aorus 15X are similar in dimensions and weight, while the Razer Blade 14, with a smaller display, was naturally sleeker at 12.23 x 8.97 x 0.70 inches and 4.05 pounds. The Predator Helios Neo 16 measures 14.18 x 11.02 x 1.05 inches and weighs 5.73 pounds. The back panel has an HDMI 2.1 port, two Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C) ports and a proprietary jack for the 330-watt power adapter. Switching over to the left side, Acer includes a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-A) port, an Ethernet jack, a MicroSD card reader slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. On the right side of the chassis, you find two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-A) ports and a Kensington lock. Acer attempts to break up the large visual expanse with a chromed Predator logo to little avail. The top bezel is roughly twice as wide as the sides, while the bottom bezel is massive. The 16-inch display has some thick bezels all around. It’s subtle enough to add visual interest to the laptop without being in your face. The black plastic chassis also has a slight shimmering effect when light hits it at certain angles. The only elements of flash in the design are the WASD, arrow, and Predator Sense keys, which feature translucent blue keycaps topped in black versus the clear topped with black. That said, I find the overall design very conservative and without much to stand out. The Predator Helios Neo 16 is an all-new model for Acer, aimed explicitly at hitting a moderate price point for gamers.
